A Schrödinger approach to Newton-Cartan and Hořava-Lifshitz gravities
Hamid R. Afshar, Eric A. Bergshoeff, Aditya Mehra +2
We define a `non-relativistic conformal method', based on a Schrödinger algebra with critical exponent z = 2, as the non-relativistic version of the relativistic conformal method.…
Non-relativistic fields from arbitrary contracting backgrounds
Eric Bergshoeff, Jan Rosseel, Thomas Zojer
We discuss a non-relativistic contraction of massive and massless field theories minimally coupled to gravity. Using the non-relativistic limiting procedure introduced in our previ…
Newton-Cartan supergravity with torsion and Schrödinger supergravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Jan Rosseel, Thomas Zojer
We derive a torsionfull version of three-dimensional N=2 Newton-Cartan supergravity using a non-relativistic notion of the superconformal tensor calculus. The "superconformal" theo…
Non-geometric fluxes and mixed-symmetry potentials
E. A. Bergshoeff, V. A. Penas, F. Riccioni +1
We discuss the relation between generalised fluxes and mixed-symmetry potentials. We first consider the NS fluxes, and point out that the `non-geometric' flux is dual to a mixe…
Pure de Sitter Supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Daniel Z. Freedman, Renata Kallosh +1
Using superconformal methods we derive an explicit de Sitter supergravity action invariant under spontaneously broken local supersymmetry. The supergravity multiplet i…
Supersymmetric Backgrounds and Black Holes in Cosmological New Massive Supergravity
Gokhan Alkac, Luca Basanisi, Eric A. Bergshoeff +2
Using an off-shell Killing spinor analysis we perform a systematic investigation of the supersymmetric background and black hole solutions of the Cosmological New…
The Third Way to 3D Gravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Wout Merbis, Alasdair J. Routh +1
Consistency of Einstein's gravitational field equation imposes a "conservation condition" on the -tensor that is satisfied by (i) matter stress tensors,…
Newton-Cartan (super)gravity as a non-relativistic limit
Eric Bergshoeff, Jan Rosseel, Thomas Zojer
We define a procedure that, starting from a relativistic theory of supergravity, leads to a consistent, non-relativistic version thereof. As a first application we use this limitin…
The Symmetries of the Carroll Superparticle
Eric Bergshoeff, Joaquim Gomis, Lorena Parra
Motivated by recent applications of Carroll symmetries we investigate the geometry of flat and curved (AdS) Carroll space and the symmetries of a particle moving in such a space bo…
and dS
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Keshav Dasgupta, Renata Kallosh +2
The role of the brane in providing de Sitter vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry in the KKLT construction is clarified. The first step in this directi…
